Greatly influenced by Europe’s nineteenth-century literary trends, Mexico’s writers crafted some of the most phenomenal prose fiction in Spanish America. This collection offers a rich sampling of significant Mexican short stories published from 1843 to 1918. Nine different tales range from the realism of L?ez Portillo’s “Reloj sin due?” and the modernismo saturating Guti?rez N?era’s La ma?na de San Juan to the historical accuracy of Riva Palacio’s Las mulas de Su Excelencia and the vivid romanticism of Amor secreto by Manuel Payno, named the father of Mexican short stories.
Each story appears in its original Spanish text with expert English translations on each facing page. This dual-language edition features a fascinating new introduction and ample footnotes. An easy-reading pleasure for lovers of fine Spanish-language literature, it is also a valuable educational aid for students and teachers.
